They're know miss steaks in this letter cause we used special soft
wear witch checks yore spelling. It is mower or lass a weigh too
verify. How ever is can knot correct arrows inn punctuation ore usage:
an it will not fined words witch are miss used butt spelled rite. Four
example; a paragraph could have mini flaws but wood bee past by the
spell checker. And it wont catch the sentence fragment which you.
Their fore, the massage is that proofreading is knot eliminated, it is
still berry much reek wired. ....
 
Ode to the Spell Checker (author unkown)

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew
 
:D

I use a free online spell checker called Grammarly, which is a bit more intelligent (still doesn't catch everything, though). See attachment :)

Which reminds me of the not so helpful auto-correct function on smartphones - makes texting an adventure in miscommunication at times.
